Photo Eye Installation - HySecurity StrongArm 14F Programming And Operations Manual

Vehicular barrier gate operator with controller

Table of Contents

A monitored connection tests for the presence and correct operation of the photo eyes (and other monitored

sensors) prior to each gate activation. The monitored connection prevents gate operation if an entrapment

protection sensor is missing or any fault is present.

Sensors, such as gate edges and photoelectric beams, must be installed to protect against entrapment. These

external entrapment protection sensors are required for the gate installation to be in compliance with the

2016, UL 325 Standard of Safety (6th Edition).

NOTICE: UL 325 Standard of Safety provides the MINIMUM safety standards. Site, gate hardware usage,

and other conditions may dictate the use of additional safety designs/components. It is up to the gate system

designer and installer to assess appropriate safety design and components above and beyond minimum UL 325

and ASTM F2200 Standard of Safety. Always check your local area codes and comply with all regulations.

Photo Eyes

NOTE: To enable fully automatic operation, this gate operator requires a MINIMUM of one external entrapment protection sensor

to monitor potential entrapment zones in either the open or close direction of travel. Visit www.hysecurity.com/gatesafety for more

information on UL 325 standards and gate safety.

To learn more about external entrapment protection devices or to learn how to temporarily supply power to

the sensors that are wired to the gate operator, review External Entrapment Protection Sensors: What the

Installer Needs to Do on page 27 and Supply Power to the Sensors on page 51.
